In reply to the discussion: RFK Jr. fired every full-time CDC cruise ship sanitation inspector ahead of the Hantavirus cruise ship outbreak. [View all]not fooled
(6,743 posts)23. 'Murica has no clue
of the implications of what krasnov has done and is doing to dismantle the U.S.
A guy who helps with maintenance at my house is a dedicated "Know Nothing" about politics. Willfully ignorant, although the rise in fuel prices has gotten his attention. I make a point of letting him know just a few of the things the regime has done that hurt average 'Muricans, just in case he ever gets motivated to inform himself and vote (I'm not optimistic).
He's going on a cruise soon. I will make sure he is aware of this story and its implications for him.

The firings were in April 2025, so not exactly "just ahead". Still bad, though.
